ColR1948 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I spotted this small prop on the right hand side of the aircraft, it seems to be in sync with the props, does anybody know what it is? The red arrow I put there it isn't on the AC. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hi Colin, according to Wikipedia it's a generator and there should be one on the left side too: "The S.73 was a mixed-construction (a skeleton of steel covered by wood and fabric for the fuselage, wood for the three-spar wing) monoplane with a braced tailplane and fixed undercarriage. There were two generators, one in each side of the fuselage; the batteries were 24 V and were rated at 90 A." Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."
